Still seeing the odd bright flash outside my east facing bedroom window. New cells firing across Sussex/Kent and growing in intensity.

Might have to get some shut eye soon and set an alarm for around 2 for a status update.

Just had a bit o heavy rain here and according to blitzortung a flash right overhead but I didn't see or hear anything :cc_confused:

I'm probably just a little too far West but will sleep with the window open just incase

It actually got a lot closer than I thought it would and London and parts of the South East saw something at least, but again, these events seem to favour Benelux and the North Sea (the models got it right) One of these days;)

Look at the amount over the SE quadrant! Now I see why I was awoken so many times! Look at that one that exited NE Scotland lol, what a system that must've been! 

Great find buddy, bookmarked this one straight away. 

A real humdinger!  :D

Looks to me like a multi-cell cluster is beginning to organise over the Channel/N France and could be a shot at an MCS...running the radar back and forth it does appear to have an increasingly northern shunt to it.

The phrase 'sod it' comes to mind!

LOL as expected a "nose" of light rain approaches Ipswich.

That cell Tunbridge Wells way has my name on it! 

Watching it from the bedroom window at the top of Cuxton... Cracking view of flashes and distant thunder.

Had a couple of flashes and some rumbles earlier...a bit too far away...I think the forecasts got the track of these bang on although not the intensity...not exactly biblical...good luck all...

Many flashes and rumbles on the approach to SE London and the electrical activity died a death over this area.Quite a nice 10 minute display above me,but far from a classic.

Looking at the radar returns it seems that lightning is decreasing in all areas at this moment in time.

We have just had an almighty flash followed by lights going out then BANG!!! but the bang didn't echo it was very strange indeed 

Sounds like a very close strike. We got that years ago when a tree in the garden 5 feet from the bedroom window was struck.

.. and there's a risk of scattered thunderstorms over the weekend, although not quite as profound to what we have now.
